I can sympathize, last year the eastern US set records for rainfall. I'm not usually esp adverse to riding in the rain but with just one short trail tour planned, I wanted to ride my new gravel bike--the stock tires are fat knobbies that are comfy on trails--if I put fenders on I'd have to buy new narrower tires. I kept figuring a dry week would come but no luck. Eventually I got so sick of seeing rain I didn't even want to think about touring anyway.

Biking aside, the constant drenching rains were pretty depressing. Frequent flooded basement, back yard a muddy mess...& that's nothing compared to folks in the region who lost houses & businesses.
